What our customers say

Client

Alexander James Recruiting supported us with recruitment of a candidate in 2025. The thing I was most impressed by was how much enthusiasm they were able to convey to candidates on our behalf. They clearly took the time to understand the role, which meant that the candidates they introduced us to were both well informed & excited about the opportunity. I would definitely recommend Alexander James Recruiting to others & will happily call on their services again in the future.

Alexander James Recruiting have now helped us to fill several positions successfully. They were positions that I had been struggling to find the right candidate for, for some time. They take the time to fully understand the requirements for each role & also to understand our companies' philosophies and dynamics. This all resulted in a great selection of candidates being presented to us.

Alexander James Recruiting is the best recruitment company I have worked with. Very honest and sincere, and they work hard for their candidates' success and career. They continue to contact me after joining a company to check in. Rob is outstanding and an absolutely amazing person who does help and support your job hunting, not just an ordinary recruiter.

Alexander James Recruiting came highly recommended to me and I can certainly second that. They took the time to understand me, and my experience to ensure that I was suitable for the role, as well as to fit into the company I was to be placed at and kept constant communication open with me through the entire process, including managing the process around my timeline of moving country.

Used various recruitment companies over the years, and I'm not sure how they manage it, but Alexander James Recruiting always seems to find candidates who are right for us! I would strongly advise that you give them an opportunity when you next need to recruit someone.

I contacted Alexander James Recruiting after a new employment opportunity that I took up, didn’t work out. I felt like I was in an extremely vulnerable position at the time and they did everything they could to put me in front of a new employer in a timely fashion. Not only did they act swiftly but they also acted with my best interests at heart and found a really good match, both for me and the new company. A great recruitment company who also open up a good emotional connection.

"Working with Jordan and Alexander James Recruiting was a real pleasure, he was there at every stage of the process and found me a role that matched my needs and requirements, in, what appeared to be, a seamless and professional manner. I was kept up to date the whole way through and Jordan was always available to speak to even on days when I knew he was on annual leave. I thank Jordan for all of his help and although I would love to say I will use him again, I know I won’t have to as he found me a job that I love and I will be staying here for a long time to come."

This year I had decided to change my career path and Alexander James Recruiting gave me a call in regards to my current position. They called very regularly making sure I was okay during the interview process both before and after. Within two weeks I had a new role from the first point of contact to an offer of employment. Even now they regularly check up on me to make sure I have settled in and am enjoying my new role. Probably the best recruiter I have had dealings with. 10/10.
